Reinterpretation of a diary

The first time I saw this film, I didn’t know anything about Bearded Stars, but it was famous. In that world-famous photo, the red star was shining brightly. Every time I fell and got an asthma attack, there was a feeling of an oracle. . And the movie's climax, Crossing the Amazon, sounds like a fantasy for a landlubber who can't swim, so awesome, Amazon.

So I came back to this film after so long. When I came into contact with more films, life, and the original work of "Motorcycle Diary", I found some other colors.

First of all, this book is not so much an exciting prequel of the revolution as it is a troupe of literary youth. Even the majestic crossing of the Amazon in the movie, in fact, has only a few strokes in the diary.

And in the movie, when I constantly refer to what I read in the book, I can't help but find out whether the director's intention is to depoliticize. Because in memory, Guevara actually encountered a lot of political and revolutionary events and figures during this trip, some of whom became comrades for quite some time. But the film seems to want to remove those so-called political colors, including the couple of Communist Party members in the mine, and does not show Guevara's sense of loss in the diary of the ideology of these two so-called Communist Party members.

Naturally, a true story will change a lot if a color is removed with a filter. One point is to weaken the influence of those guiding ideologies on him. The illusion of the film is that he has become a revolutionary by watching the mountains and rivers toil the masses. But in fact, the revolution itself is an extremely complex proposition, which requires not only guiding ideology, but also physical training and accumulation of strategies and tactics. Of course, it is definitely impossible to present them one by one here. Naturally, there are reservations about the purely personal feelings of adulthood.

Therefore, the film is depoliticized in order to achieve the effect of the theater. From the perspective of this film alone, not from the perspective of historical facts and from the perspective of the objective development of things, it is actually doing a good job. The filter removes the theory that is relatively boring and boring in reality, and fills this gap with young passion, which can better stimulate the audience's emotions, and experience this grand tour from a perceptual point of view, this romantic tour .

So this movie, as a level of enlightenment, couldn't be better.

    On the night of his birthday, standing at this end of the torrent, he had actually made up his mind to use his thin body to cross the moat that separates the people. The sparse lights are enough to point the way. When he waved goodbye and was able to respond, the future was already far away where the Manbotango would sail. An idealist is someone who practices what others want but dare not do. ps: Educar significa "salir del camino".

    Motorcycle is very important, but diary is more important. This trip started because of Granado's birthday, and quietly ended when celebrating Che Guevara's birthday. Start with the idea of ​​finding the answer, you may not be able to find the answer. If you don’t know the end point, then anytime, anywhere during the journey can be used as the end point.
